Nursing supplies for new CNA who is hearing impaired

Published

I would like to find a stethoscope that isn't electronic, that is good for those who have moderate sensorineural hearing loss. I wear BTH hearing aids, and I've used a stethoscope with minimal to no problem, but it was a loaner from my professor and it was an amplified Littmann. Any opinions on what is your favorite stethoscopes that have good acoustics and is NOT electronic. (Now granted I do plan on investing on a electronic stethoscope eventually, but I want to learn to not rely on it and learn how to listen for hard to hear high sounds and low.)
